Favorite Subject & Why

Her favorite subject is science! This has been a fact since she was in pre-k and in her first week shared with her teacher that the sun is a star. Science has allowed her to ask questions, to wonder and marvel at our universe while her curiosity for the ocean has grown throughout the years. She then found her love for sharks and has made them her focus at any chance she had via presentation, story or science fair project. Chemistry and biology have also peeked her interest.
